Call of Juarez is one of my favorite video game series of all time. Thank you for giving it the attention and love and research that I feel it deserves.
Same
If only it had a better name
@@Ave_Satana666 what’s wrong with the name
Bound in Blood is one of the few game that received a positive review on Zero Punctuation. A very rare honor. Its a great game.
Gunslinger is currently on sale on Switch for $4, it plays well, worth picking up.
Gunslinger is awesome
I just want to say you're a straight up legend man! Thank you for all your hard work. I appreciate this retro style content a lot. Keep it up!
Thanks dude!
I know I’m old when Xbox 360 is considered retro
You've got this shit down pat at this point. Had me totally hooked from tne first ten seconds of the video.
Thanks my man 🙏
What I love about your reviews is that you talk about the bad and the good, and don't just roast or kiss up to the games. Sometimes people just wanna suck a game off or burn it to the ground in their reviews, and having someone reviewing these niche games with more objectivity and balance is a net positive.
agreed so many "reviews" are recapping the story beat by beat and then calling it a masterpiece
@@timgimmy609 agreed man
i’d never heard of this series before! thank you for the introduction, i’m definitely going to check these out further!
You really should receive more visibility, your content is damn great !!!
I remember playing the multiplayer for bound in blood back in the day, it was so fun. I genuinely preferred it to call of duty and the like, but it was a struggle finding games even back then
If you’re looking for a stealthy multiplayer fps with cowboy aesthetics, check out Hunt: Showdown.
I tried it and it’s not really for me since it’s more or less all stealth based. That and the servers are absolute dog shit.
Me too, I switched back and forth between the multiplayer on that and another almost game with nearly dead multiplayer at launch, Medal of Honor: Airborne. I've heard that some people on PC recently have started up some community servers on Bound in Blood in an attempt to populate it again, I believe they have a discord with some files to download. I haven't tried it though so I can't speak on its popularity. Fistful of Frags or Smokin' Guns are fun as stand-ins though, although they're pretty old and most matches are only against AI.
I did try Hunt: Showdown and I like the aesthetics and visuals, but I didn't know what the hell was going on. That tends to be my experience with 'extraction' shooters as a whole though, I was even more confused when I tried EFT. If I remember correctly in Hunt I walked up to a guy and started using my mic, thinking it was kinda like DayZ or Rust back in the day and there was the option of working together with randoms to team up to fight the AI or do objectives together or something, but he just shot me in the face immediately. Pretty looking game though.
Call of Juarez really is slept on. I remember being upset that there were no hats in multi-player in a cowboy game, but looking back is was pretty killer with what they did.
if they ever do decide a sequel.
I hope that its a mashup of BiB and Gunslinger.
Thats a killer formula.
no sequel will ever come out, mostly because the last installment of the series was hated by everyone and because red dead redemption set a bar so high I highly doubt any developer will approach the western genre anytime soon
I like how among these decent westerns you have the fucking fever dream that is The Cartel.
Such an underrated series! The first one was an extremely impressive for the time and remember it blowing my mind frequently!
I have a Mandela effect for the second Call of Juarez cause I vividly remember playing the story mode co op with my brother back in the day but last time I played it, it was only single player, that shit really confused me
Maybe confused it with Army of One?
I've only ever played Cartel and Gunslinger but I have all the achievements for both. Yes, I do put myself through a lot for completions. Gunslinger is a classic though.
i like the video and commentary, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
great job on this
Right on time just finished up the series 🙌
a two hour video.
Man, you know, just we needed today.
yay, a 2hr vid ❤
nice to see a cameo from jane from oxbox as well!
Bound in blood is my favorite FPS game of all time! I've been playing this since I was a kid! Thanks a lot man u are a REAL legend for explaining this OG franchise🔥
I need that Total Overdose review my man.
In my opinion:
Call of Juarez: Needs a remake in the engine of Bound In Blood.
Bound In Blood: Needs a remaster for new consoles.
The Cartel: Must be forgotten forever.
Gunslinger: It's pretty good.
man i just love your Vids greetings from germany :D
Cheers!
Since gunslinger was my first exposure to the series, then i heard the game's soundtrack i knew that this was going to be one of my favourite videogame series, wish they would do another shot at this series, maybe do one where the really early 20th century has the last cowboys riding motorcycles or something like that
I loved the first one so much. Some of the scenarios I won't ever forget. Gunslinger is also fantastic, such a clever concept, one of the smartest I've ever seen in any game really.
Fun fact the only time I could reliably use the Bible was the mission where you hop on the train and you enter the carts, managed to make the 4-5 enemies stop for a moment and listen, I then proceeded to gun them down before they could fight back 😂
Kinda hard to find a person that appreciates these old games like this guy.
I found a Easter egg of the game sunset riders in RDR2.
Turns out the city of Valentine in RDR2 is the same city of the bonus stage in Sunset Riders.
If you go to Valentine stay in front of the stables and look to the city you see the store and the salon on the left and the hotel and many other stores on the right.
It's the same of Sunset Riders XD
Played Gunslinger and really liked it. Def gonna check out the first 2 games.
Hoooooweee boah I tell you h'what I sure do love me some Mr Hammers!
Oh man I am dying for another Call of Juarez game although I doubt we will ever get one. Bound in Blood was my favourite and I actually quite enjoyed The Cartel, despite what everyone says.
the fact that some said " darkwatch" and i lit up with joy. i loved that game when i was younger
Gunslinger is probably one of my favorite games of all time lmao replayed it to many times
When I played the first call of Juarez, every time I played as ray I would have the Bible in one hand and a pistol in the other and just spam random quotes while streaming it to my friends
Bound in blood and gunslinger are two of my all-time favorite games
It is really cool that the had a nod to gunslinger in dying light the following, where all the revolvers looked the same as the ones in gunslinger
Over two hours, f*ck yeah. I'm in.
I played BiB all the time with my brother. I grew up with Call of Juarez instead of RDR, and I hope they make another Call of Juarez game with a story like that someday.
I remember when me and my brother shared the 360, he said he bought a game that was on sale that he said was a western, i got so excited since i thought he bought Red Dead Redemption, only to be disappointed it was CoJ: Gunslinger, so disappinted to the point i actually cussed him out, wasn’t until i finally played it myself, that i owed him one heck of an apology.
And you bet when this game was released on Switch, i bought it soon as it went on sale, replaying the game on Switch, was like slipping into the comfiest pair of shoes, i must thank my brother very much for getting me into Gunslinger, though i never played the others and probably never will, as long as i have my Switch ever since my 360 broke, Gunslinger will remain a game in my library for years to come!
Damn, I’m watching more of your channel.
tommy tallarico's music is amazing in this
Totally biased but these are my favorite videos you’ve made, great videos!
I forgot about this series 😢 childhood core
Gunslinger is a masterpiece
Call of cathulu was another good franchise. It creeped me out as a kid
It's not really a franchise. Call of Cthulhu (2005) and Call of Cthulhu (2018) share nothing but inspiration by Lovecraft. I really wish Lovecraftian games were more popular
@@leschpountz3614 yeah I meant the 2005 one I don’t know why I wrote franchise lol but I’m glad there’s others who like it!
Dwight twist is really surprised me too
The best part of Gunslinger is how the ending reconfigures what we thought of the adventure we saw being told and hits us with the revelation: what Silas has been telling us is the Truth , he is not making this up .
Too bad the """Engraved Guns""" were so ugly .Wish they could have given us real Life examples of inlaid and engraved guns , like the pimped out Colt Single Action Armys that the Dalton Boys used at Coffeyville to signal their final strike .
Wtf I literally only knew about 1 of these games, I had no idea there was FOUR of them. I wish I knew about the series sooner, Call of Juarez seems like a game I would've been into heavy on the xbox 360
Really only the first two are connected, cartel and gunslinger just kinda do their own thing haha
"brother and stepsister" which state is this set in again 😂
I feel like the reason Thomas became an abuse drunk was also the death of his brother. People pick different ways to cope where Ray went the religious route however Thomas went the self destructive path dealing with the pain.
You're not gonna believe me, but there's a video showing all those character intro's and the lead writer Rafal Orkan actually responded to my comment, confirming that yes, Pistol Pete was the inspiration behind Silas. At least I hope it was actually him, I'd hate to imagine someone would sink so low as to pretend to be someone else
I did play the multiplayer for BIB right when it came out, it was really fun on ps3 until it became infested with hackers about a month later.
11:49 bro, same. Had to google an ign thing
The Xbox version of bound in blood has split screen coop my brother and I used to play it a lot
I need to try Bound By Blood
It's the best one imo
I remember seeing "call of juarez: gunslinger" discounted for free on steam, and now I really wish there were more well made old western games in the world
My personal theory as to why Billy claims that Thomas is a drunk abuser, is that he’s just projecting. It’s clear that Billy at the beginning of the game isn’t exactly a Saint. He literally steals multiple people’s guns, when we later see that the only reason he’d need one in the town, is because of his own actions while there.
Thomas probably did beat Billy, but it was probably because he deserved it, though a young Billy never took it that way.
And as for why his Mom told him where the gold was? Well… That really is a massive plot hole, I’ll be honest. Though my best guess would be that she saw a lot of who Thomas and Rey once were in him, and hoped that if he did find the treasure, it would be a wake up call for him like it was for them, rather than a death sentence, because she probably felt that he was going to go off treasure hunting no matter what she did. Although, that’s really just me writing a reason for the game, at that point. We never know his mom well enough in either of the games she appears in, to know why she would do this.
Gunslinger is the only one i played and the game has aged beautifully
i want to play all of them. I hate that there are some like Cartel that are not available anymore.....
I like long length videos.
First two Call of Juarez games are basically Ray McCall vs Juan "Juarez" Mendoza. The third game is Ben McCall vs Juan Mendoza.
Call of Juarez, McCall vs Juarez. Get it?
My only issue with William killing was that it wasnt in Cold Blood, but Self-Defsense. Something even the Bible teaches is okay via Luke.
"Sell thy Cloak for a Sword."
You should do this for all your fallout videos :)
I think I will! Just have to finish NV, 4 and 76. And maybe maybe tactics and shelter! Haha
@@MrHammers can’t wait! 🤟🏻
3:13 Oh won't you look at that, that's still the case
35:05 now if only the "director" of Spider-Man 2 knew this
I remember playing the cartel back in the day and thinking it was pretty lame compared to to the previous one. Never knew how bad everyone thought it was and how it almost kills the series. I'm incredibly surprised they decided to make another one after that. I'm even more shocked that they managed to make it so good that most people consider it the best in the series.
When you said Ray reminded you of Reverend Green from Blood Meridian did you mean the ex priest Tobin? Reverend Green is such a minor character
What would be awesome, a Western Zombie game by Techland.
before Red Dead Redemption, Call of Juarez was the best western based videogame
Naa gun was the best Western
@@LDZWolf the only thing I know about gun is how its called and how the logo looked like
Am I the only one who wishes the cartel was better? I think it could have been way better considering their previous game, a modern day atmosphere would rock
12:08 you mean like a big, unavoidable rock that insta kills you?
Is sucks that the cartel didn't turn out as a concept it sounds fun I guess I'm a sucker for a cop story
What about the first western fps aka outlaw?
Wonder why this series wasn’t more well known?
Granted, back when these games were released AAA games were still good so maybe the series just got lost in all the decent games that came out of the era
played this when i was a wee lad
Awwww shit mans made a video and imma do laundry today woooo
The cartel was very bad but we gotta admit the story was good especially Kim’s ending which made more sense
5!!no way
The only reason why I cared for this game series was because of the second game because of the beginning of the story you’ll understand why
I swear I'm the only person who had no issues with the dueling in Bound in Blood because every time I hear people review this game, they always say the duel sucks major ass and it's fucking atrocious to control and I'm like ??????? and I played it on PC too, I found it easy and quick to learn the controls, I barely lost any duels.
day 1 of politely asking for a cry of fear retrospective
I would love a remaster of all the games except cartel
Damn, TH-cam compression fucking massacres the first game...
The cartel was terrible. I was so sad, but gunslinger was so damn good.
So basically this game is farcry redemption
❤
Alright hear me out, Call of Juarez:Undead nightmare 😂
9:36 there’s climbing?
yes, compare Billy climbing by being able to grab ledges 08:33, and the Ray having to stack boxes to get a ledge 11:05
Wonder what the chances are of a new COJ game
Probably 50/50 Gunslinger did pretty well but it seems they are more focused on Zombie games
4:55 ugh, Garth Ennis
At first I thought Call of Juares is related to Call of Duty.
Two problems i had with the games was the rop swinging from the trees or to get to a higher point and the duals, god I never liked the duals in bound in blood
Ray McCall = Gunslinging Gul Dukat
Maybe I was too tired while watching this but how the hell can Ben be related to the McCall brothers if they all died without having kids?
Billy and Molly are his great grandparents, making Thomas his great great step father and Ray and William his great great uncles lol. Technically not related to the McCall's by blood, only in name from Billy 'Candle' McCall.
His related to Juan Mendoza by blood though, as he's Billy's actual father
@@MrHammers that's what I was assuming. Weird of them to make him basically a copy of a character he's not actually related to lol. Great video by the way.
@ganin_ gotta relate to the series somehow I guess LMAO thanks my man
Great breakdown, however there's only one thing I wouldn't agree on. Duels are actually great, especially in Bound in Blood. Reason you struggled with aiming is because you need to move simultaneously as the opponent moves. If he moves off your center your aim will be off and you will not be able to shoot him. I believe the instructions are presented in the first duel in the game.
I personally hated Bounty Hunter, not cause its a bad game, its actually pretty good one, but it takes name of already existing franchise without adding anything to it.
1:18:30
Not accounting players who played multiple characters
Sorry dude, but that IS actually accounting players who played multiple characters
Hey great video for a great series. Just one thing, Jim Sterling goes by they not him. They still use the Jim Sterling brand but goes by the name James Stephanie Sterling and tends to prefer Steph.
I Can say without a doubt that I love these games! Pretty good westerns.
But as a Mexican, I cringe whenever I hear how they pronounce Juarez
LMFAO
I regret not playing these games, I was too young to play them, I was on the Wii
Also the games looked bootlegged asf to me
Some sh!t id see in the swapmeet and i did
